Why am I unable to post messages to my groups.?

Question

I am an owner of 6 groups. The groups are functutioning correctly. Other members of the groups are posting messages without problems. But recently, I am unable to post messages on any of the groups. What could be the problem? Did someone gain access to my groups and banned me? Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

The other thing that could be going on for why the messages not posting is that of a technical issue.  There have been some technical issues as of late that the Yahoo Groups technical team is trying to get straightened out.  Also, sometimes there can be delays in messages getting posted if the servers are overwhelmed with activity going on at a certain time.

I would recommend checking with a Yahoo Groups customer service representative as well to see what they think could be going on.

To see if you are still listed as group owner, sign in to one of your groups.  

Click on "Members" located on left side of page.

Click on "Moderators".

Your screen name should be listed and show a blue crown to the left of the name.  If it is not listed, you should use the Yahoo Help Form to report this problem.  Here is the link to that help form  http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/...

The Yahoo Staff will contact you via email.  Make sure to click "Reply" to that email because it will contain a reference number so they can keep track of your report and help you faster.  If they send more emails, make sure to click reply to those emails to keep the reference number current.

One other thing might cause you problems is your emails from the groups may be bouncing.  When you are signed in to the group, if you see a "Bounce Alert" in red letters at the top of the page, click on it and follow the instructions.  Bouncing can be caused if your email program's inbox is full (over it's quota) or your ISP is not allowing group messages to come to you.  If that is the case, you would have to contact your internet service provider and tell them you want to receive emails from Yahoo groups.

I hope you get your problem fixed very soon.
